The malacology collection houses rare, EW (extinct in the wild) Hawaiian land snails with the goal of re- establishing native populations within the island. Captive rearing interns will assist in a wide variety of duties associated primarily with this live land snail collection. These include, but are not limited to, captive rearing of rare and endangered live snails, maintenance of snail habitats and supplies, and census recording of individuals. Initiatives are in partnership with the USDA’s Snail Extinction Prevention Program, where outreach and education activities aimed at informing conservation staff of partner agencies and the general public may be required. Due to COVID19 pandemic restrictions, field outings will be limited or on hiatus until further notice.
If interested contact: Dr. Nori Yeung; Malacology Curator, Bishop Museum, norine@bishopmuseum.org
Help unlock valuable information about the diversity and distribution of Pacific Island land snails in the Bishop Museum Malacology Collection by becoming part of a multi‐institutional project. Interns will help with the imaging and databasing of historical specimens and associated field notes and mapping of specimen distributions using GIS based applications. Interns will gain experience in using digital imaging systems, macro photography, image editing tools, collection management databases, mollusc taxonomy, and geography.
